The car is presented in “absinthe” – a color unique to the study – with interior leather in “blood” orange. Beneath the bonnet is a Porsche four-valve, four-camshaft, naturally aspirated, 500 hp air-cooled flat-six engine developed with consultation by Hans Mezger.

“Bloko” is a newer and more improved version of the designer’s earlier 3D-woven concepts. As an expert in 3D textiles and manufacturing, Gaca adapted the construction of the fabric and different yarns to give it a strong yet soft quality — making the application of the textile suitable for the car as well as the home.

OMT Garage wins the Deus Bike build-off with the Piaggio ‘Ciao’ Racer’s sleek ‘Silhouette’. This little green bike’s low and slender body adds stability at high-speeds, while a natural cork saddle, and a tiny handcrafted tank keep weight to a minimum.

Although the bicycles’ aesthetic alone is enough to lift your mood, by owning one of Villy Custom’s “cruisers with a cause” you’re actually doing good, since for every ten bikes sold, the company donate one to a kid who is battling cancer.

Each designer took a different approach and the results are a trio of limited-edition bikes that you can proudly sport around town knowing you’re one of the few that owns one. Each bicycle is available in limited edition via custom order in tokyobike’s Nolita store or online.

The bike’s balanced 950cc engine has been built by “the Guzzi doctor,” and is hooked up to a lightened flywheel for quicker throttle response. Rodsmith himself has designed and built a blow through turbo system using two sealed pressurized 36 mm delortos.

Where most standard bicycle frames are constructed by metal tubes welded together, the NoBike sports a body made of four laser cut triangular forms made of aluminum, slotted together by three joints with cylinder spacers.

Moto Guzzi presented the Tomoto motorcycle in one room of Dixon’s massive Multiplex exhibition – a showcase of new design by Dixon and several handpicked small studios, which took over the 1950s Teatro Manzoni cinema.

The Porsche “Panamera Sport Turismo” will be unveiled at the 87th Geneva Motor Show (march 7 – 19, 2017).

The lines of the “Trezor” are warm, sensuous and refined, while its assertive front end incorporates signature C-shaped lights. In terms of their styling, Renault’s upcoming models will draw their inspiration from the “Trezor’s” DNA as their forms become even more fluid and mature.

Along with the aerodynamic-enhancing carbon fiber splitter and diffuser, Aston has upgraded the monstrous 6.0-liter V12 engine to kick out a whopping 580bhp. An improved intake manifold design is also said to improve throttle response.

It defines a new era of electric mobility that fuses exceptionally high performance with precise handling, ultra-luxury, and futuristic intelligence features. Leading its extreme capabilities, the supercar produces 783 kW of power, equating to 1050 HP, delivering a staggering 0-60 mph time of 2.39 seconds.

People People, a small Swedish industrial design agency, adores the traditional bike’s styling and reliability, but also think it is a bit heavy and clumsy for a modern city contexts. To counter this, it has formed a sleek “younger sibling” of the classic bicycle called “Spiran” — translating to scepter in Swedish, has clean, elegant lines with the look of sophistication also fit for monarchy.

It is the first model from NextEV’s new brand, Nio. Dubbed the world’s fastest electric car, it can go from zero to 200 kilometres per hour in 7.1 seconds, and has a top speed of 313 kilometres per hour.
